Making Quality Time

Image
Quality time isn’t just about the time spent together, the ‘quality’ in there means something. It doesn’t matter that you are in love with each other, quality has to be perpetuated. I agree that the love languages are meant to incorporate each other but lately, I’ve been wondering if each on its own can serve a purpose in relationships. Of course not while neglecting the other love languages but also independently. And in my interactions, I find often that quality time is often downplayed, and I figured, are they doing it right? So this addresses that. Hopefully. At its core, quality time is about connection. It's those moments that bring us closer, creating memories and strengthening bonds. It's not just about physical proximity either; it's about emotional closeness. It's when you're fully present with someone, sharing experiences, and engaging in meaningful conversations.

The Misconception that is Love Languages

  I agree with the general sentiment that the world needs therapy because even in ways we are unaware of, the world in its ugly ways has poked its fangs into our lives, left us scarred. And yes, while we are the world, we are its victims too. The paradox of simultaneousness. Anyhow, that’s far from what this is about. From a misguided savior’s complex, which still is you know none-the-less saving stead, people went too far and decided to bring therapy to the world. From social media therapists to therapy patients, quotes and sayings from therapy have been released to the public. This reminds me of when someone said they don’t read self-help books because “what does a middle-aged white man living in a first-world country know about growing up as a black woman in Africa” and I think about that a lot. Because word? While not always ill-targeted, we need to understand that concepts we consume that are meant to be influential shouldn’t always be because simply; circumstance....
